Low back pain due to strain refers to:

The pain caused by lesions in soft tissues around the lumbar spine, such as ligaments, fascia, muscles, synovial membranes between the articular processes of the spinal cord (synovial membranes of small joints), is clinically referred to as strain (soft tissue) low back pain. The common clinical diseases include the following.

Common clinical diseases include the following:

1. Acute lumbar sprain

There is an obvious history of injury, and the disease often occurs immediately after the injury. The diagnosis is clear. Patients often experience immediate pain after a lumbar injury, but are still able to move. The pain worsens significantly the next day, or they become bedridden. He walks with his hands on his waist and his gait is restrained. In this case, massage can be used to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis.

3. Transverse process syndrome of the third lumbar vertebra

This disease is a series of clinical symptoms caused by the anatomical specificity and biomechanical characteristics of the third lumbar spondylolisthesis transverse process, which causes friction, traction and compression stimulation with nearby soft tissues during activities.

There is deep tenderness in the affected small joints. There were no symptoms or signs of nerve root damage, and the straight-leg raising test was negative.
